Saunterer, of Blyth

Dunbar, Haddingtonshire. — During the afternoon of the 5th August the coastguard reported that a yacht was ashore on Tyne sands, three miles west of Dunbar. She was the sailing yacht Saunterer, of Blyth, cruising in the Firth of Forth and bound for St.

Abbs. A moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, with a smooth sea, and the weather was thick, with rain. The motor life-boat George and Sarah Strachan was launched at 5.30 P.M.

and stood by until the yacht refloated.

She escorted her into Dunbar harbour, and returned to her station half an hour after midnight.—Rewards, £12 8s..
